From the colophon:
“The typefaces used in this book are: Kohinoor Devanagari and Kohinoor Gujarati, designed by Satya Rajpurohit and published by Indian Type Foundry; and roman and italic Filosofia and various weights of Mr. Eaves XL Sans, designed by Zuzana Licko and published by Emigre. All of the type was letterpress printed from photopolymer plates.
The red text of the poems was overprinted with gray multiple times—once for each of the people that this book is dedicated to.
The rubbings were made from sidewalks and curbs, first by hammering the damp sheets of paper onto the concrete with a brush, then rolling them with screenprinting ink. CC students Nicole Leung and Jessica Zhou did most of the rubbings.
The paper is Somerset Book Wove, in heavy and light weights. The endsheets are from the French Paper Company, and were printed with a fabric collagraph. The cloth of the covers was painted with gesso and printed from photopolymer. Further Other Book Works of Colorado Springs consulted on the binding.
The text was written by Divya Victor, specifically for this format. Aaron Cohick designed, printed, and bound the books. Jessica Zhou helped with the binding. Corie Cole assisted with proofreading and logistics.
Thirty copies of this book were made. Ten of those were reserved for the people that worked on the book and for Colorado College’s Special Collections. Those reserved copies are numbered AP1, AP2, and so on. The rest of the edition is numbered 1 – 20.
Always, always, thank you for reading.”
